Psilocybin as a Treatment for Chronic Pain in Smokers

● Recruiting nowPsilocybinChronic PainSmoking Cessation

Early-phase psilocybin study for veterans who smoke and have chronic pain, testing pain relief and smoking cessation together. This is not a PTSD study — current or past PTSD is an exclusion criterion.

This is an interventional study — the research team administers the treatment under a controlled, IRB-approved protocol. Participation never happens outside that protocol.
